"Austria" is the same in Italian and in English.
Specifically, the Italian word is considered a feminine noun. Its feminine singular definite article is "l"* ("the"). The pronunciation is "OW-stree-ah."**
*The feminine singular definite article actually is "la." But the vowel "a" drops before a noun that begins with a vowel. The temporary nature of that drop is indicated by an apostrophe between the still-standing "l" of "la" and the following noun.
"*The sound "ow" is similar to that in the English exclamation of pain "ow."
